time flies
Time flies when you’re having fun! Christmas is coming up so fast and I’m really enjoying all the preparations and excitement and fun of the season. For the first time, we are hosting the family Christmas lunch at our house and I am really looking forward to it. We have been tidying up and getting things organised and sprucing up the place.
This year, we decided it was time to buy a new Christmas tree as our old one was a bit of a cheapie and only quite small. We bought a really nice one that is 7 1/2 feet tall and just about touches the ceiling so it is definitely tall enough! It is so perfect - I just LOVE it. It’s everything I wanted it to be. We have decorated in silver and red with lots of bells and baubles.
I have been having fun testing out my new digital SLR and Lensbaby Composer lens. Here are a few shots I have taken with it:
The Lensbaby gives a very small area of focus, throwing the rest into a lovely soft focus effect. Great for portraits but I haven’t had much chance to try that yet, so these will have to do!
Here is a shot of Emma on the merry-go-round in Civic and it was hard to pan and get her to look at me - I took a heap of shots and this was the only half-decent one:
Speaking of Emma - guess who took the scissors to her own hair yesterday? I was so mad! Yes, I know we’ve probably all done it as kids but her beautiful hair! Luckily it was only a tiny snip - have a look at her two cm fringe:
